"Vaya pedazo de manotas"

I think it's Spanish - tried translating it using Altavista/Babelfish and it came up with "piece of manotas goes". I ain't got a clue what that's supposed to mean lol
Anyone any ideas please ??

Manotas is a latin-Spanish word meaning 'Slap' or 'Smack'.

Perhaps it's Latino Spanish you're looking for.

The context of the phrase may also help!

It was posted as a comment to one of my vids on youtube.
I think I can assume that it's not flattering lol

After checking several sources, it appears that the loose translation probably is, "What a piece of sleight of hand (sweeping of hand)!!

A good response would be "Gracias!"

pie

it means - "What a pair of hands!"...

so i'd take that as a compliment...though depending on the context it could be to do with back-handers too...

you'd be suprised what goes as an insult. "puta madre" (my spanish isn't excellent so there's probably a mistake there), literal translation is something like "whore's mother" but is actually one of those "nice"(ish) compliments, like "the dogs b*ll*cks" or something.

well, i just asked a spanish mate of mine and that's what he translated it as...

i wasn't questioning you dude, i wouldn't doubt that it's right. sounds about right

no sorry! - i should of re-typed my reply to say that thats how i verified it...that's all!

I'll happily settle on this as being the correct translation - it was a comment on youtube to one of my Erdnase Change vids, which, to be quite honest, I didn't think was that good
